Changes

* These movies were released between ''[[BW039|Reunion Battles in Nimbasa!]]'' and ''[[BW040|Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!]]'' in Japan. However, these are [[Club Battle]] episodes and the movies cannot take place then, or the arc would otherwise be interrupted. Consequently, the movies must take place before ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]'' and not after the Club Battle arc, since {{TRT}} was preparing to begin the plot to sabotage the [[Battle Subway|Nimbasa Subway System]].

** Had these episodes aired when originally intended, with their airdatesair-dates not being brought forward due to the postponement of the [[BW023 (unaired)|unaired]] [[BW024|two-parter]], the movie would've have likely premiered between ''[[BW037|A Fishy Connoisseur in a Fishy Competition!]]'' (or ''[[BW036|Archeops in The Modern World]]'', as the former was, itself, delayed from an earlier date) and the aforementioned ''Movie Time!'' episodeBW038.<ref>http://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/comparisons/isshu/rocket_vs_plasma/schedule_changes.html</ref>

* Director Yuyama Kunihiko scouted locations in {{wp|France}} (including {{wp|Nice}}, {{wp|Gourdon, Alpes-Maritimes|Gourdon}}, {{wp|Tourrettes-sur-Loup}} and {{wp|Mont Saint-Michel}}) as part of pre-production for this movie.

* These are the first movies in which {{an|Brock}} does not appear at all; he made a cameo appearance in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''.
